Well now when we when I first thought about this I was hoping that we would be able to find enough people, but by golly They just kept going here Who do we have first? Well, let's let's look at Eddie Albert Eddie Albert What did Eddie Albert do other than well, of course he did he had two different TV shows that I can think of right off the bat Okay, you had your green acres and you had your Switch Those were steady job. Yeah, I mean yeah doing green acres maybe and I It seems that the other things that he did were back in the 50s Yeah Back when nobody knew who he was. He was in a show called leave it to Larry in 1952 He played Larry Tucker probably the lead character of the thing Nothing but the best which was a variety show He was the host of nothing but the best in 1953 And then Saturday Night Review. It was another variety show He was the host of Saturday Night Review 1954 and then we take that big jump up to 1965 where he does the green acres thing Obviously why he did green acres. He hadn't done stuff for a while. He's like my career seems to be And of course we can look at Edward Albert who is the son of Eddie Albert Who was like the it looks like he's the king of the The the miniseries here No, no, no, no, no, that's Richard. Richard Chamberlain is the king. Edward Albert is probably one of the crown princes of the miniseries Miniseries. Well, we have here the last convertible which might have just been pretty much a movie Yeah, that's a movie I think In 1979 he was Ron Dowell The yellow rose a drama and he played Kisto Shampion This was in 1983-84. I guess that was a series Yeah, must have been And Falcon Crest. He was on Falcon Crest Oh jeez As Jeff Wainwright Yeah Of course then who wasn't. This is true That's kind of why they created those nighttime soap operas to give everybody who wasn't doing something at the time Something to do But you know what the ultimate is? It's like people who have done nothing but game shows Charles Nelson Riley That's right He's been on every game show ever invented Brett Summers, that was her career doing game shows Vicki Lawrence did a lot of them Oh yeah And then she finally graduated It's kind of like the pyramid of Chippo Stardom You have the guesting on game shows Then you host your own game show And finally you get to host your own talk show Yeah Your own daytime talk show Yeah Charles Nelson Riley, that was his career Nipsey Russell, what does he really do?

Burt's Law, mentioned Burt's Law before, okay. Hollywood Palace, Gidget, F-Truth, I Dream of Jeannie, Bob Hope Chrysler Theater. If you did, if you did the wish, you had to do I Dream of Jeannie. Yeah, that kind of seemed to be the answer. That was a reciprocal deal there. That girl, hey landlord Beverly Hillbillies, everybody's talking. Everybody had to do Hollywood Palace. That's how you paid your dues. The Mothers-in-Law, The Jonathan Winters Show, The Flying Craft Musical, Love American Style, of course, who wasn't on The American Style. The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour. Oh, he did some ruins in Martin's Laugh-in Password, The Dating Game, Not Davis Show. Okay, okay. We get the idea. Paul was a hard-working guy. TV movies and mini-series. And you know what? Gidget grows up. Gidget gets married. He just worked himself to death. Yeah, that's what it is. He's still worked himself. And here's a little synopsis of him. He's a comic actor who usually played a smug, fussy type. He was a long-time center-square on the Hollywood Squares, mounting scripted jokes as if they were spontaneous witticism. Ooh, can we say that out to you, Z? Mouthing, scripted. That's what we can't say. Scripted? Yeah, that's what bothered me. I just said so many things. Fanny Flag used to do a lot of shows, too. Fanny Flag. There's another one. Did he kind of grew up a Fanny Flag? No, I can't see. I grew up on her. I mean, she was just as everything. Oh, shut up, you nasty man. But she was just on, like, everything. Yeah, that Fanny Flag was part of it. She was like the only actress in the Southern accent, I guess. That kept it. That kept it. She was proud of her Southern accent, so she kept it. She was like on a new Vic-Dandike. New Vic-Dandike show. He said, no, no, no, no. Match Game PM. Match Game PM. Excedrin PM. Match Game PM. For the nighttime, watch it. The Liars Club. Oh, the Liars Club. Harper Valley PTA. That's serious. Oh, yeah. Most of the cast of Hogan's Heroes seem to show up a lot on that. That was a good show, though. The Candy Camera. The Match Game. Yeah, Candy Camera's where I really remember from a lot. Her groupin' show. Oh, here's one of my favorites. The Bobby Gentry Special. Is that the old Sir Beat the Clock? No, no, this was the original Beat the Clock, syndicated back in 1969. Wow. It was a good one. Cross Wits. She was on Captain Kangaroo. Oh, the Love Vote. Everybody was on the Love Vote. She was the new original Wonder Woman, which was... Wait a minute. I got one who was on every show. Billy Barney. We need a short guy. A real short guy. Billy's your man, he's there. Billy Barney. Okay, short guy's in costumes. I'll go with that for Billy Barney. Other than that, it was Michael Dunn, who was pretty much the short guy. But Billy Barney was the short guy in costumes. Billy Barney's been on every show. He's been on every show. Look at Billy Barney. He's been on every show. Paul In did a show together. It was the Billy Barney book. It's just references. It's a very short one. Well, why are you looking for that? We got it. We got it. Okay, Ford Festival Circus Boyd. The Spike Jon show. Club of Ways, the Sigmund and the Sea Monster.

Oh, my goodness. This is your man. Building up for Bernie for two years now. This whole show was based originally on Bernie Cappell. He inspired this show. It's dedicated to him. This man. I don't think he ever actually had a starring role on the show. Well, he wasn't a star. Gavin McLeod was a star. But he had to be there. He was a co-star. He could be a co-star on the show. That was one thing. Well, of course, his big part is sink breed and get smart. He was Jerry Bowman on That Girl. Everybody was on that. Charlie Miller on Needles and Pins. Okay. Alan Adele on When Things Were Rotten. That great... Well, now I can't think of his name. Mel Brooks TV show. And it was just a great show. Oh, yeah. Really was. One of the reasons it was probably great is because Mel didn't try to star in it. That was before he had to be the star of every movie, every project he was in. There was a jumper for old Mel there. But, okay, Bernie. And then, of course, Adam Bricker. Dr. Adam Bricker on The Love Boat. The Love Boat. I did not realize The Love Boat ran from 1977 to 1986. That's scary. Oh, yeah. Still in production at Underground Laboratories. Ah, but now I have here the... Did you know that? ...that Lauren Tweed's clone. I have the Bernie Capil casting episode. No! Okay, just... If you tape this part of the show, you may just pass forward a little while. My favorite... The Lucy Show. Ben Casey. The Beverly Hill Billy. The Farmer's Daughter. The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Oh, man. Oh, jeez. You did Beverly Hillbillies, too, huh? Yeah. She did Beverly Hillbillies, but she also had her own show. Well, you want to talk about the other big guy? The other guy we were actually going to originally create the whole show for Bernard Fox. Bernard Fox. Come on, stop. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Dr. Bombay, come right away. Ha, ha, ha. I was busy. Ha, ha, ha. Trying to get a new pair of alligator shoes. I was in the swamp. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. That's where you gonna be. Go on. And he was Colonel Crittenden on Hogan Zero. Oh, yeah. Playing virtually the same character. Ha, ha, ha. Hold him. Ha, ha. You got one voice. You got one character. That's all you do. Interesting, though, that Bernard Fox actually played before he played Dr. Bombay. Wow. Yeah, he played this other part playing pretty much the same character. Ha, ha, ha. As this guy who was like a lecturer saying that, that, uh, like witches weren't real and all this and he accidentally, through his archeological travels, had picked up this ring or something that actually affected witches and Sammy is like, is popping in and out and stuff and they have to trick it, trick him to get it away from him because he's witchcrafted and doesn't work on him. Ha, ha, ha. And then he came back later to play Dr. Bombay. Ha, ha, ha. Okay, but he was also on... Ha, ha, ha. The Andy Griffith Show. I'm thinking Flying Nun. Ha, ha, ha. The Dick Van Dyke Show. Hey, there's a different one. Okay, I'll just go to try to find the different ones. The big one. I think Man for Monkey. Okay, over here. I like this. We have the Man for Monkey, The Thor Affair, followed by Hogan Zero's The Crittenden Plan. The Monkeys. Yeah, everybody was on the monkey. The Wild Wild West. Hogan Zero's and King. Love American Style, of course. Partridge Family, that's what we have in her. Colombo, that's another one we haven't heard yet. Wasn't it like a requirement in the 60s that you had to be on Love America's Hour? Was it the 70s? The early 70s. Whoa! Mash! Lou Grant. Simon and Simon. Murder she wrote. Another one. Okay, and he was in a couple of movies and TV's and movie miniseries things. Hunter and Baskervilles and Gogan the Savage. Ooh. I wanted to mention somebody. I don't know if they're even in here, because this woman's doing a lot of shows that don't seem to do very well. She was originally on Fridays. Yeah, and she's done a lot of shows. In fact, she's now on this new Jackie Thomas show, which I won't mention the network, so I'm not suing it or something, but it's bad. It's really bad. It's 800 characters, and you don't care about a single one of them. Well, if we're going to talk about that, Melanie Shartoff was also on that Friday show, and I kind of had a soft spot there from Melanie Shartoff. Is that why you watch Parker Lewis? Ooh. Well, who else we got? How about Artie Johnson? Yeah, Artie didn't do it. Artie was on everything. I bet he was going to love Americans. How much do you want to bet? I'm betting you're right. I'm betting you're right. Artie Johnson, because he was, you know, most of them laughing, but it seemed like he showed up on everything. When they needed somebody a little bit taller than Billy Barty. Well, they needed somebody who was like, a normal... Someone who was big. A normal size but yet short. A normal size yet short. When they called me a short guy, they said Billy Barty, no, too short. Artie Johnson. It was either Artie Johnson or Henry Gibson. It was the other one. Because I think they're pretty much about the same size. Because they were both on Laugh-In. And they were both short. And they were both, yeah, not tall. Of course, everybody was... Artie Johnson. Was he going to love American style? I'm betting he's going to love American style. I think you're right. I mean, when in comic, who was White Hot in the late 60s, thanks to Ronan Martin, on which he played the very interesting Nazi, the dirty old man Tyrone F. Horneye, and other resorted characters. He was on Sally. He was on Hennessy. Don't call me Charlie. Ronan Martin's laughing. Ben Vereen's coming at ya. The gong show. Knockout, gangsta people play, and glitter.

No time for Sargeants. Bob Hope Chrysler is the editor. A load of stuff. Do you love American stuff? I love American stuff. Love American stuff. Love and the Living Doll. I even remember seeing that episode. Oh, he's on another one. Love and the Nurse. Well, believe it or not, we're actually done with a half hour. Oh, I don't want to know about that. We seem to... It's time to just get the heck out of here because next time we're going to be talking about... What the heck are we talking about next time? More DC? More DC comics. Back to the comic book deal. More to that dark comic book thing. And to you and all of yours. The most merriest of Christmas and holiday seasons. Even though you probably won't see this one until somewhere in January. Who knows when it'll be on. So, tune in next time for that. For all of us here at Vast Wasteland, we'll see you next time. Go on over, mother! Oh-ho-ho!
